Great time with my peeps at the BiB-PhD-workshop; inspiring papers and discussions, an insightful panel debate on how to prepare for a productive PostDoc, and the most relevant input on how to assume lead(ership) roles during PhD!😃📈 Thank you @tamilwhy.bsky.social & Lidia Gutu for organizing!

When winter feels the longest, we fortunately organize our own PhD-peer workshop at BiB! The ‘wall of compliments’ – where only pep talk is allowed – was a good balance to useful and critical feedback to my paper 🙏 Thanks @eliashofmann.bsky.social and everyone else! #phdlife #populationgeography

Here's a starter pack for happiness/SWB researchers. It's a pretty small list at this point; I've mainly used profile searches, with limited results. So, happy to add people by request. go.bsky.app/7o42Hjp

Extremely honored to have received a DGD award for my MT on “The effect of moving distance on income returns in Germany”. Shout-out to my supervisors Prof. Clara Mulder ( @unigroningen.bsky.social) and Prof. Michael Wagner (University of Cologne), and my current colleagues at the BiB!

Really happy about the great feedback I received for my paper on internal migration and subjective well-being at #YoungDemographers conference in Prague! It has been a great experience, grateful to the organising team!

Do motives of internal migration vary with distance? In a short report based on German panel data we find that this is the case - but that the picture is more complex than you would think 🤔 (report in German, happy to answer questions🤓) www.bib.bund.de/Publikation/...
